A Novel Plan.

For several months Peter Horndvke,
a well-known gold-miner of the San
Juan country, has been coming to Du-
time all the beef-hides he could find.
As he took the hides mountainward
many wondered to what purpose they
were being put. A Herald reporter
met Mr.. Horndyke and bluntly asked
him what he was going to do with SO
many hides.
''Well, now that | have proved my
theory correct, | have no objections to
telling your readers of my doings.
You see, all gold-hunters know that
much gold known as float is washed
away continuously. To catch this by
any means has always proved impos-
sible, although tried by many different
methods from the tail of sluices and
running streams. Last spring | luck
lily thought of a method which is rapid
ly making me "a rich man."
"How do you do it?" was inpatient
ly asked
why, with hides. It's the simplest
thing you ever saw. The Animas
river tributaries come from the best
gold-bearlng sections in the country.
This being the case much fine or flower
gold must pass down the stream. Up
above arranged my plans by select
ing a point where the river cuts direct
ly to the bank; here placed hide on
stakes, allowing the water to skim
over it, the hair being placed up
stream, of course it caught up all the
float of all kinds. After leaving the
hide in this position for week | took
It out and examined it thoroughly, but
could not discover any trace of gold.
Being determined to give my expert
ment a thorough test, | cut up several
pieces and burned them in an old pan:
IN panning the ashes | was rewarded
with over g in gold. Since that |
have devoted my time in setting every
hide | could buy, and now l have fifty
IN place at various points. On my
clean-ups, which [ make on each hide
at the end of two weeks, | realize from
500 to $50 in pure gold, which | secure
by retorting the ashes of the hides"

ing was to see Bill Jones setting out
for the wells with paper bundle
under his arm and pair of chickens
legs sticking out of one end. The
idea of that fellow having chicken to
eat when we were skirmishing for
beans broke us all up. The boys
watched him day after day passing by
with a chicken under his arm and o
self.satisfied look on his face until
they could stand it no longer. They
held an indignation meeting, and re-
solved to come down like a wolf on
the fold and make Bill divvy up his
chicken. Next day Bill turned UP
smiling with the paper bundle under
his arm, The chicken legs sticking out,
and nodded to the boys. The next
minute half dozen held him fast, but
he made no resistance, and looked on
with quiet smile while the hungry
mob investigated his dinner. What
do you think they found?"
Chicken legs?"
"Yes, and stuck in piece of liver

Want To Sleep.

If you are troubled with insomnia
these sultry nights just turn the faucet
of cold water in your bathroom for a
minute or two upon your feet and then
thoroughly dry them. Haul taut your
mosquito bar, let your head lie low,
and, like the pious country blacksmith
in his pew at church. close YOUR ewes
and think of nothing. The cold water
drives the blood to the head and pro-
duces soporitic effect. One of the
big Portuguese onions sliced and
nicely seasoned and eaten with thin
bread, in the form of sandwiches.
would be good. An ordinary United
States onion will do if the great bic
fellows are out of the market. Onions
are full of opium. Let business and
all mental labor 60 out of your head.
Keep the thoughts of maturing notes,
interest upon mortgages, the good
looking chap that was attentive to
your best girl, and all such enemies to
repOse on the outside of your mosquito
netting. .-Ne1O York Times
